S5E5: My Head Is An Animal
Episode 6
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
DISCALIMER: Tonight's stories contain depictions of animal slander, experimentation and violence. On tonight's episode, we're delivering one of our most intense episodes yet. We're exploring animal slander, experimentation and exploitation. Three new stories, all centered on animals and their human oppressors. In the first segment, two sharks don't take kindly to a beach-goer's choice of prose in 'A Well-Governed Shark' by John Weagly. In the second segment, Maddy Nibble's 'Winging the Wingless' brings us the scientific logs of a mad scientist and the numerous bodies in their wake in the pursuit of godhood. Finally, an affluent estate party leads to a wild midnight ride and the lines between animal and man are blurred in 'Horse' by James Wilkinson.PLUS! Joining us in the void as our music guest is TINY VIPERS! An indie DIY troubadour through and through, Jesy’s delicate blend of hushed vocals and guitar create piercing elegies that flow in and out of time but linger like ghosts long after. Her new album, Tormentor (2025), meditates on her experience: whether speaking directly from her soul in the title track, or observing the horrors of sensory awareness on “Breakfast,” Fortino establishes herself as a participant, observer and mediator of the paradoxes inherent in human experience.Joined by our top-notch ensemble of performers; Jordan-Michael Whidbey, Cody Smith, Andrew Shanks, Maddy Nibble, Helen Roundhill and Shane Regan.
